Macintosh Postscript Printing Question

     I know that converting MS-Word files to postscript can be
accomplished using the k or cmd-k technique from the laser writer
print dialog box.  Once this is done, what type of postscript file
is created?  Is it apple printer specific?  The "!%Adobe 2.0" first
line looks the same as on the files my office-mate creates on his
IBM-PC.  But my postscript files will not print on our QMS-PS810.
     Is there a list of printers which support this method of postscript
file generation on the Mac?  Is there a public domain program that 
will fix k/cmd-k postscript files to work on a variety of printers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.....
